Vikings stadium saga delayed at State Capitol

Republican House Speaker Kurt Zellers told MPR there wasn’t a vote on the Vikings stadium bill Saturday because, “We’re going to wait for the authors and the advocates to say ‘we believe we have all of our votes now.’ Until then it’s too early.”

The announcement came shortly after Gov. Mark Dayton and Democratic leadership held a news conference Saturday to push the House to hold a vote on the Vikings stadium proposal. Vikings fans, sporting purple and gold, also rallied at the State Capitol Saturday.
